2011 Toyota Prius

safety brake booster and actuator concern. the car abs, master cylinder brake lights are on. the booster is making hissing air sounds and the brake pedal vibrates. the code is 1309 maybe more.. this is a problem with thousands of prius and costs thousands to repair. Toyota extended this warranty to 10 years 150k mine 2011 so lost the repair last year but only has 150k miles.

My brake accumulator pump has begun running much more frequently than it should. Upon extensive online searching, I learned that this condition is warning sign of an eventual failure of the brake booster pump and/or master cylinder which will cause brake failure at an unpredictable time when the brakes are applied. I understand that this condition is known by Toyota and has been addressed by "warranty enhancement ZJB". However, my car is outside of the cutoff age/mileage. The president of Capistrano Toyota in Southern California made this problem known to you with an urgent letter dated 9/19/19 and expressed why this NEEDS to be a recall issue, not just what it is now. The reason is because not only has Toyota time limited repair coverage, they would not do the repair until failure occurred....a totally illogical and dangerous plan. I should not have to pay ~$3000 to have this well-known problem repaired at my own expense just because the invitable failure hasn't happened yet, and I'm not within Toyota's arbitrary time limits for having the repair covered at no cost. The symptoms I am experiencing are precisely those that are the precursor to this known failure. Why has NHTSA not acted to force this issue to be a full recall? You are putting lives at risk by not acting in a timely fashion given the Toyota dealer's warning I mentioned above.

While driving at roughly 58mph, while going around a turn: multiple dashboard lights came on, Tire pressure, traction control, emergency brake, one other. My brakes became less responsive (roughly half braking strength). This is consistent with the pseudo recall offered by Toyota covering my vehicle for a limited time, for which no notice was given and no warnings were sent.this issue has caused over five dozen crashes and during the duration of the recall, vehicles were not eligible until the braking system had failed. There were no signs of the faulty part until after the extended warranty period had expired, but the issue is the warrantied part, and the failure is consistent with the failure caused by the manufacturing defect responsible for the extended warranty effective in 2017

Multiple brake warning lights came on at once. Took to dealership and was told Brake Booster Pump had failed requiring replacement of parts totaling in over $3,000 in cost. Attached is a class action lawsuit about this exact issue, as well as a Toyota Customer Service Bulletin acknowledging that they knew about the issue years ago.

All brakes warning light went on while driving. The anti skil, abs, emergency brake lights. The car was unable to stop and code reader indicated a brake booster pump and brake actuator/accumulator failure. The failure was confirmed, and the brakes just stopped working while driving. I almost crashed into another car as the brake was not working no matter how many times I press it. Contact Toyota, they are careless and said it was not cover in any recalls and an enhancement warranty just passed 4 months on my car. A previous voluntary recalls was issue for the car model year before mine. This is a fundermental feature of a car and should be fix regardless of age. It is putting people's lives in danger and will cause accident!

The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Prius. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled with the check hybrid system warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the inverter needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 141,000.

Brake System Warning light ABS warning light Slip indicator light 6/3/2022, while driving on the highway the above warning lights illuminated. I depressed the brakes but failed to engage. I was able to slow down by shifting the gear into “B”. Eventually the brakes engaged and I brought the car to a stop. Toyota created customer support program ZJB but the warranty covered a period until August 2021.

The brake system failed. Over time there was a frequent sound (which I now know is the brake pump) when you opened a door. Eventually at 120K the entire brake system failed throwing the ABS code. I had to replace the brake actuator and booster (2 parts are recommended in the repair) for a little more than $1500. After speaking with the parts rep at Toyota (I replaced it with geniune Toyota parts) I was under the impression that the parts person knew that people frequently buy these parts which led me to believe something was known but not divulged.
